Later..with Jools Tonight 16th may 2015

[skidder652003]

Very strong show IMO for a nice change!

Best by a country mile again IMO was Lianne La Havas? Never seen or heard her before but wow!
Followed closely by Father John Misty, huge star in the making there I think..
Followed by Hot Sardines, great musicians and tap dancer!

Poorest by far and sad to say was Paul Weller, really boring, terrible sound

oh well..

I don't like Paul any more, It makes me sad, does that. I have to say it out loud, accept it and move on.
I used to love his music.

Yep

I'm watching it again, now, she is fantastic - I love the band with the string section and the overall mix!

Lianne is an old friend of Later - she was on a few times when her last album was out (and that's how I first heard of her). First time I've seen her play bass though! Check this one out from a couple of years ago.

Hot Sardines were great, didn't like John Misty though, my sincere beard-o-meter was in the red.

+1 'Unstoppable' was excellent - best use of a Gibson (Grabber ?) for a long time !

Bassist on the Stingray was using a pick...

Lianne La Havas seems to being groomed for the gap left by Corinne Bailey-Rae?

was PW's sound that bad? Normally jools has decent sound

Agreed, and I think that's a shame - the stuff she was doing solo was excellent & quite unique - now with a full band it she sounds (and looks) very anodyne. But that's the business, I guess.

[/quote]It makes me sad too. Now what makes me MAD is people who still worship every note he produces however bad!

Yes, I have the first album and it was quite quirky, from the stuff I saw on Later she has been positioned much more mainstream now.

just watched it after reading this thread, we're all different aren't we? was completely underwhelmed by Lianne La Havas, Hot Sardines just a novelty act, would have been ok on Britain's Got Talent, thought Paul Weller was the best thing on there, (couldn't stand his Style Council era) so I guess they're catering for all tastes then

Every time I see Jools' show I'm reminded of this:

Brilliant!

Hadn't see Curtis Harding before, thought that was quite good. The only thing I thought was a bit strange was having CH and Weller on the same show, their music seemed quite similar which detracted from the eclectic nature of the show, in fact it made me think that Harding would make a very good support act for Weller on a tour.
